No End in Sight

I thought I would try to save some money on the lice treatments by taking one of the kids to the doctor and getting a prescription. Well, I found out that my co-pay for this new insurance is $40 and that insurance won't cover lice treatments because they are only sold over the counter and there is no prescription equivalent, at least not at Wal-Mart. So, I wasted a lot of time and stress, not to mention $40, today.

I ended up going to Walgreens because Wal-Mart's generic doesn't contain Permethrin, which is what the Doctor's office recommended. Walgreens, however, carries two store brands, one that is the Permethrin, which is the active ingredient in Nix lice treatment, and another which contains the other stuff which is equivalent to Rid. So tomorrow, I'm keeping all three of the smaller kids home from school and we're going to see what we can do about this.
